WE BUILD SOFTWARE.
AND WE BUILD HARDWARE TOO.

Drone capabilities are becoming increasingly more software defined. However, the hardware to run the software on is as equally important. At Sky-Drones we pay the highest attention to the hardware design, manufacturing, inspection and quality control. Reliability of the drone is directly affected by the quality and reliability of the hardware inside. Sky-Drones’ hardware is manufactured right here in the United Kingdom and endures multiple quality control tests before being shipped to our customers and their drones.
